dual booting osx/win7 on a macbook
hi all,
i imagine i've got a bit of a unique situation, but hopefully one of you might be able to point me in the right direction
i've got a macbook running win7, and i want to dualboot it and get osx back on there. should be easy, osx on a macbook, right? **** me.
i did a bit of homework first, and reviewed what other people have done for dualbooting, but all of the threads are ancient and address different specific issues
so here are the steps i went through:
-created a second partition in win7, ntfs, made it active
-rebooted with an authentic osx snow leopard disc
-osx installation startup began
-went into disk utility to format it to "journalled" and get this error:
"Volume Erase failed with the error: Could not modify partition map"
it won't let you install until the disk is formatted correctly...any ideas guys? any help would be huge
thanks!
